Pics?
I'd comment but not sure if my visual is the same as your description.

 

Here are a few pics. I ordered a new rotor for the stator and a new nut for the shaft. I think I'll be in god shape once the parts come in. I'll be sure to post an update as soon as everything is back together.

Thank you for all your help everyone.

 

Looks like you'll be in good shape.

 

i was in good shape!

everything is back together and she's up and running. I had to cleanup the threads on the shaft, and after doing that it all went together well.

i was a few days delayed in firing her up because the new battery cables i purchased through jp cycles (accel canoes for a 94 883) were too short. After rectifying that problem everything worked out.

thanks all for your input.

Let us know if the problem is rectified.

 

it's been rectified.

 

advice?
make sure both battery cables are tightly secured to the battery posts.
I had charging/electrical issues a couple of years ago and it turned out to be
a slightly loose negative battery cable.
